I have worked at Woolworths for 6 years and have been in the Bakery for 3 years. The apprenticeship is free (company pays), but the management expect more and more from you, but when you can't focus on cleaning, they blame you rather than their own time management and delegation skills. Overall good pay, good hours if you like early mornings, and normally good team to work with...

didnt enjoy working here, had manager who made me choose between working or being a parent, i chose my children and never looked back. had no hesitation resigning esp when wider family health issues required i move away to help my parents with severe health issues

working at Woolworth was good i meet so many customers my work colleges were pretty cool as well,i learned how to use a till, and how to work with money . for me the best part was meet someone new everyday.

This workplace gave me a lot of opportunities and experience within the warehouse . My first fork hoist license was achieved here also taking on different tasks was given to me instead of picking orders .

I was able to engage in time management, customer service, multi-tasking, heavy lifting, and money handling skills while here at Woolworths. (They are currently countdown now)
I learnt a alot, to manage my time suitable for my school hours, and other extra activities.
I learnt punctuality, to be on time, every time for work.
I enjoyed every part of my first job.

I am a hardworking person and I honestly tell everyone that I love working with others and I love working with any department.People are really friendly and Company really fare as well.I love let environment

Getting to learn their system and meeting new people on a daily basis. Very customer focused and have to meet targets efficiently and with accuracy. Very good experience on how to manage time and working as a team to produce excellent outcomes.

A supermarket that helps its community in ways which perhaps exceed expectations. Being near the airport there are plenty of busy people who love to pop in and get what they want during most of the day. Some of the management have been known to be members of local sport clubs which is a great tie in for those interested in the community from this kind of perspective.

Pros

Free coffee, in my time quite a few celebrities came shopping at Kilbirnie

Cons

A lot of people come through because of the nearness of Wellington airport

I enjoyed working with customers and thoroughly enjoyed my time here over the many years learning new departments and taking on tasks that was set by management and achieve them without ease. I also enjoyed the customer contact emensl.

Each day was different and similar at the same time. There would be daily reporting but still had different tasks at the same time. Had a great team and nice colleagues. Lot of learnings and fun at the same time. Each day was fun.

Working at Woolworths LTD my main job is to pick online orders and contact customers by phone regarding their orders. Since I joined Woolworths I have learned time management skills, multitasking, problem solving skills and team work. I am so glad to have great manager who care about their staff as much as they care about the required jobs. The thing that I enjoy the most about working with Woolworths is the team work where everyone helps each other to finish the required jobs however, I find the long shifts abit tiring.

woolworths has closed its doors for good. I used to get my float, and put it in my cash register. I was a sales assistant when I left school. I worked in confectionary, making milkshakes, snow freezers, and selling sweets. I also worked in the boyswear department. I would dress mannequins, stock shelves, clean shelves, sell goods to the public. The motto was the customer is always right. I worked for section manager, and manager. I learnt to stock take, stock shelves, cash handling skills, to be coureous and polite to the customers. I loved the people. We had alot of fun at work.
